Simple Seafood Stew

Simple Seafood Stew

Have you ever had Cioppino? It is this amazing seafood stew that kind of tastes like pizza. It is absolutely delicious! I had my first bowl of this in San Francisco when Craig had to travel for work and I was lucky enough to come along.

Growing up I despised seafood, but seriously… I grew up in the north central Wisconsin. We don’t exactly have quality seafood. My first experience with shrimp was a rubbery chilled, frozen-burnt cocktail shrimp with a bunch of spicy and sugary cocktail sauce. Not exactly something a small child would be into.

So when we were in San Francisco, Craig made me try shrimp again. I really didn’t want to, but since my love asked me to, I did and it was nothing like I’ve had before! Crisp and flavorful! I ordered the Cioppino and I was hooked! Whenever I travel to the coasts, I always order their specialty seafood!

Here are a few photos from our time in San Francisco. It was 15 years ago and at that time, I wasn’t as healthy as I am now. I would be really good on the weekdays but on the weekends or traveling, I cheated and had wine and on this trip I had sugar-free cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory (not recommended!). But I always skipped the bread and was ‘low carb’ but I didn’t feel as amazing as I do now!

This Simple Seafood Stew was so easy to make! I thawed out a package of Sizzlefish Cod, shrimp and scallops and it only took minutes to make! And if you don’t want to make my Mama Maria’s Marinara sauce, I highly suggest using THIS organic sauce! I order a case at a time and keep them in my pantry for recipes like this Simple Seafood Stew and my Protein Noodle Lasagna!

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY

“The 30 day cleanse for me was twofold.  First and foremost I needed to get control of my blood sugars. I had tried keto before and had great blood sugar control but due to my severe allergies (I have a mast cell disease) I had to go off keto.  When I found the cleanse and recipes that I could love and have no reactions to I knew this was the solution. I also wanted to lose weight with this woe. I have succeeded in both!! Stable blood sugars and down 12 lbs!! Thank you Maria and Craig!! You have changed my life!”

    This looks delicious! I’m struggling with getting enough calories each day. Your sight indicates for quick weight loss I need 1,424 each day. I’m lucky to hit 1,000 on any day as I’m full pretty much all day. I am utilizing intermittent fasting and eating 2 times a day in a 6 hr window. I have fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and have another liver scan coming up in April and I’m wanting to get rid of it!! I have HBP, low thyroid, vestibular migraines & gastritis. I’m worried I’m not getting enough calories for health reasons. Am I ok if I am eating all that I can handle? My Garmin indicates I use approx 1,800 to 2, 000 cal per day. That’s a big deficit. I’m doing as your books and videos say and avoiding dairy and nuts during my 1st 30 days. I did cheat and add cheddar cheese to a dish and had diarrhea the next day. So no more cheese.

      If the calculator is showing that much for fast weight loss you probably under-estimated your body fat percentage which is common. Or need to reduce activity level. Should be around 1000-1300 for fast weight loss. 🙂

      Calories can be under as long as you hit your protein goal. Your body just uses more stored body fat for fuel (which is fat loss).

    Thanks, Therese
